Madden NFL 15: Most Exciting Teams to Play With

03:18 PM - June 25, 2014 by RaychelSnr

With Madden NFL 15 only a couple of months away, and E3 in the rear view mirror, let's look ahead at the who will be the most exciting teams to use come August 26th! As you read this list, understand that this is Madden specific, and not any kind of prediction or opinion about any of the real-life NFL franchises or teams.

Success in Madden has traditionally come down to highly rated players at skill positions on offense and defense. In Madden NFL, the game has often felt like both the offensive and defensive lines were afterthoughts. This is especially true with interior linemen, who existed only to field an authentic number of players on the field. Quarterback has been the most important key to success for a long time in Madden, with running back, and wide receiver/tight end rounding out the �must have� positions. Let's hope that all of the talk about the defensive side of the ball actually comes to fruition this year.

yea RG3 and out is only good in video games

# 22 Rams_3 @ 06/25/14 11:38 PM

Rams all day baby. Starting a franchise with them as always. They're young and exciting. But we'll see how that translates into madden 15.

# 23 TLizChosen @ 06/26/14 08:41 AM

Bills at 25 Hmmmm Oh Well...I Love playing with my Team win, loose or draw...

# 24 jmurphy31 @ 06/26/14 09:12 AM

I'll run with my patriots in CFM. I'm guessing Brady will retire after year one, so it will become the Jimmy G era

Again, just talking about possible exciting teams to play with (I think the thread is about which teams have exciting possibilities in general, not who is your favorite team), I have thought about a few fun ones I'm looking forward to.

I could see:

Rams (already stated)
Browns (pretty obvious, Manziel and Josh Gordon, even missing him for a year, is a fun thought, definitely would be fun to try and bring them to glory after so long)
Vikings (I like starting with rookie quarterbacks and trying to build them into a hall of famer, AP still beast, good TE and Patterson can be Madden good)
Jaguars (madden wise they will have players with ratings that will give you a chance to win games, rookie QB, always fun to take a team at the bottom to the top)
Raiders (I love MJD and they added some good "madden ratings" guys)
Jets (variety of reasons already listed)

The Texans would be fun for me if I didn't have to control Watt or Clowney, hopefully CPU Teammates will take advantage of the new emphasis on pass rush moves.

I could see myself doing a Steelers or Bengals CFM too.

Might take a look at the Eagles as well, love me some Foles and Sproles

I guess any team can be exciting to use, just depends in what you look for

Obviously... As he says "in madden defense does not win games"

I have not picked up Madden the past couple of years, but seeing my Titans ranked last makes me think it might actually be fun/challenging to play with them in franchise mode this year.

I am glad CJ is gone..he was such an easy cheese player for me even though I'm pretty sim. The 99 speed, the crazy agility, etc, just made crazy plays happen even when I was not trying to do so.

# 28 JMD @ 06/28/14 05:48 AM

As I have every year since the birth of video games, I'll be using just one team, the Chiefs.

# 29 Godgers12 @ 06/28/14 01:35 PM

This coming from a Packers fan. The Bills are way too low on this list. Everyone knows they will be a top 5 Madden team this year, and one of the more overused teams in the game. I would probably swap them with the Panthers on this list. EJ Manuel is basically a poor mans version of Cam, Watkins will be a monster, and Spiller will still be a Madden beast, they also have a rock solid defense.

On the contrary, the Panthers have absolutely NOTHING on offense after Cam, and Olsen, their HB's are average in Madden, and Benjamin will be too slow to have any major impact, unless he moves to TE. and their defense outside of Kuechly, is pretty awful. Johnson, and Hardy are not athletic enough to have a major impact, and they may have the worst secondary in the history of Madden, no thanks. Not to mention for us online franchise players, their cap situation is awful.

# 30 Smoke6 @ 07/06/14 01:49 PM

49ers as usual, I knkw they will be avoided and over used but thats the tema I been rocking ever since I picked up a controller and playing football.

# 31 bigsadd @ 07/18/14 11:46 AM

Bengals not top 10!!! That's crazy top 3 defense

I agree that the Ravens are exciting. I think they should be much higher on the list. Tough defense and enough weapons on offense to be dangerous.

# 33 RogueHominid @ 07/19/14 08:05 PM

Has Oakland finally been displaced as a favorite Madden-ball team?

I have to think that MJD and DMC will make an intriguing pair to build an offense around, and hopefully Mack will come in overrated and be able to dominate in year one.

# 34 basketballer0385 @ 07/19/14 09:30 PM

I will use the Cardinals tough division very good d that you can improve with the draft and the same can be said on offense still very competitive team that can grow

# 35 andyacecandy @ 07/19/14 11:31 PM

On the defensive side of the ball? Texans... can't wait to control Watt/Clowney and put pressure on the QB

On the offensive side? If the Josh Gordon isn't suspended, it'll be fun to play with that JFF connection

# 36 HealyMonster @ 07/20/14 09:30 AM

@pvark31 my post was a joke because he put the titans # 32 lol

# 37 chicubsfan20 @ 07/20/14 10:58 AM

To me this list is just what teams are going to be used by cheesers the most and best made for cheesers. I wish Madden would overhaul their ratings like 2K. Only the true elite players and superstars are 90+

# 38 DoubleRussia @ 07/20/14 01:15 PM

Meanwhile if you want a two season all you have to do is watch the actual NFL games

# 39 The JareBear @ 07/20/14 05:48 PM

I can't decide between Bengals and Rams. I want a good front four on D and young options on offense. Both have it

# 40 Pappy Knuckles @ 07/20/14 07:57 PM

Not a bad list. The Colts landed pretty much where I'd expect to see them. I'm just glad that I get to use a healthy Reggie Wayne and Ahmad Bradshaw again. T.Y. is money, and Hakeem Nicks should be a fun addition to the offense. I'm expecting to put up a decent amount of points this year.

Defensively, my secondary kind of scares me, but I'm hoping that we can keep enough pressure on opponents to not make it an issue. Mathis should be in beast mode ratings wise. And I expect guys like Werner and Arthur to step up.

I'll be relying on Trent Richardson to keep the Gatorade flowing for the team and to load up the equipment after the games.
